Student Paris Lopez, ‘20 recently joined the Lakeview cosmetology class for the 2018-2019 school year.

The cosmetology class at Warren Woods High School has been an option for students at Lakeview each year and is known to teach students the curriculum of everything beauty-related.

Lopez ended up taking the cosmetology class because her sister previously took the class, and it amazed Lopez to see and hear about her sister’s accomplishments. Also, Lopez wants to help others feel confident about themselves.

“I feel it is a necessity in life not only to be happy with who you are on the inside, but to be happy with how you project yourself,” Lopez mentioned.

The cosmetology class is taught at Warren Woods High School by Tamara Deddah from 1:30 to 5:33 pm each day. It involves both book work and hands-on activities.

“We do book work and worksheets on background information based on what we learned for an hour. Then we get into the clinic and on our mannequins, which are graded for how we did overall. Debbah teaches the class very well and is always willing to help and provide further instruction if needed,” Lopez stated.

Debbah also feels Lopez represents the perfect student for the cosmetology world.

“I’m very impressed by Paris and her class work. She is great at what she does and has a great future overall,” Debbah mentioned.

Lopez has learned roller sets, scalp treatments, manicures, flat irons, curling irons, sanitation, and updos. On top of all that, she has self-taught herself how to braid.

“Learning all of these things has made my love for cosmetology grow even more. I am truly passionate about everything I am currently doing,” Lopez said.

Even though Lopez has already learned a lot throughout the first couple of months of the class, she still has plenty to do in the future.

“In the future of the cosmetology class I will learn color, cutting, makeup, facials, and highlights. It seems like a lot of work, but I am excited,” Lopez added.

Going into the future, Lopez has many hopes for herself as she progresses through the cosmetology world.

“I would like to go on to senior division next year, and my overall goal is to past state board before graduation. I plan on doing cosmetology after high school for a while. My main goal is to work in a salon for a few years and go to college part time,” Lopez stated.
